View Show Notes From This Episode: bit.ly/ep-891
Excess sugar consumption is one of the deadliest drugs of our time, and it’s virtually ubiquitous in our modern-day industrialized food system. Everywhere you turn, there’s sugar-from blended coffees to protein bars, drinks, dressings, snacks, and everything in between. Even seemingly “healthy” packaged foods often contain heaps of added sugar, and its impact has proven catastrophic for our mental and metabolic health.
As the other white powder, sugar hijacks our brain chemistry, making us addicted, inflamed, sick, and depressed. But the good news is that most of the health issues that arise from eating too much sugar can be completely reversed in as little as 14 days.
In today’s Health Bites episode, we’re exploring the research connecting sugar addiction to poor mental health and what you can do to clean up the excess sugar to reclaim your health and feel better, and more energized.
In this episode, I discuss:
The prevalence of sugar in our diet and its impact on mental health (2:00)
Hidden sources of sugar in our diets (7:27)
How sugar affects our mood and brain function (11:42)
How insulin resistance leads to systemic inflammation and changes in mood (16:16)
Strategies to reduce sugar intake for better mental health (20:41)
The role of supplements, exercise, stress, and sleep in blood sugar management (26:40)

Yes, isn't it amazing that you feed kids breakfast laced with sugar, send them off to school on a sugar high, give them lunches and snacks laced with sugar, then expect them to sit quietly and do schoolwork all day and then people are shocked when the school says your kid has ADD/ADHD and the doctor says they have juvenile diabetes and a whole host of other conditions. The term child abuse comes to mind.

My husband and I still struggle sometimes too. It's been about three years since we cut out most sugar from our diet. I've found social gatherings are the worst. Most people bring deserts or sugar filled processed foods. It's difficult to say no when you have tons of sugar sitting there. I think we need a Sugarholics Anonymous group to help people trying to keep sugar consumption low. Lol

Nobody has the guts to change menus or let kids starve if they don’t want to eat. Believe me, they won’t starve. My children ate homemade soup from the time they could eat. Homemade soup takes 10 minutes to make. And you always have something to eat in fridge! Home Economics was removed from curriculum back in the day. Nobody is learning how and why food is so important especially with children. Wake up!

Its like big youtube channels with million subscribbers never reply in comment section to people....because someone else is running the channel for them, on youtube, on Favcebook, on twitter, on Instagram.......but you click "like" on their content, because millions of people did too. Only small channels reply to commenters, and they dont chase "likes" because their motivation is not to have million subscribers but healthy content. So these small channels activelly know what the subscriber is interested about, because thye read alot of comments. Food industry is similar......You can not directly ask them anything and you like their content because million people buy their stuff. These industries only watch algorithm andd statistics of interest, not the algorithm of what is healthy. thye neverask any customer directly what thye like. As big youtube channels or facebook channels never ask directly any single commenter, what they like, because they are only interested in numbers and statistic not the connection with people.

I had hypoglycemia for a long time as a teen. It took years to figure out that it was actually because i ate too much sugar. For a long time in my early adult life i ate extremely clean and it went away. When i met my husband, my eating habits got bad again, and it came back and i developed pcos. We are both eating much healthier now, but im also starting to go through menopause, and am dealing with painful ovarian cysts. I have screwed myself up and am reaping what ive sown as i get older. For all you young people, dont get into bad eating habits because you will pay for it in middle age.

Are you trying to eat a raw food diet and no added sugar or salt? Perhaps, nuts, seeds, beans, grains, vegetables and berries? Eating a low calorie diet and occasional fasting can also help. Are you trying to stay at a healthy weight?

@BrayoOnBitchute Ай бұрын

yes, I respect you for taking accountability and responsibility for your actions. Many women (certainly not all) change for the worse during menopause and I've known for a while now that the foods and drinks that many women eat throughout their lives are causing these issues. Consistent bad decisions catch up eventually. Just menopause/infertility in general happens as EARLY as it does for the majority of modern women because of all the poison that females grow up putting in their bodies including all forms of synthetic medications. A baby girl is born with all the eggs she will ever have, but statistically, by the time most females reach the age of 30, they only have less than 5-7% of the eggs they had as children. this is due to all these poisons like processed anti-biotics (anti-life), processed sugars, GMOs, alcohol poisoning, smoking, etc. Some women in the Hunza community in Pakistan can give birth at the age of 90 years up to this day, these women are not superior, they merely live their lives the way they are supposed to live.

I remember asking the lady in charge about the serving requirements. Like a protein, two vegetables, a fruit etc. I remember looking at a lunch one day and saying “I only see one vegetable” in which she replied “no there are two!”. “Right there.” One was green beans she stated and with a straight face she pointed out “catsup” as the other vegetable. Oh a “peanut butter goodie” was considered extra protein. It is protein but really!

Betty you can do this. I was a huge sugar addict! I don't eat sugar of any form anymore, but still consider myself to be one, just like an alcoholic. I would hide candy wrappers in the trash so no one would see them. I'd binge eat sugar all the time. I've been carnivore two years and I've never been happier in my life. I've healed everything. Sugar is not tempting to me anymore, but I know that I can never have one drop or bite because it will bring all those cravings back big time. A cocaine addict can't finally become clean and then say, "Oh, I can just have a little in moderation, or every now and then.". That won't work. I know I'm an addict, so I stay away. Other people can eat it in front of me and it doesn't bother me, I don't want it. But I can never put it in my mouth. There are ways to overcome these cravings. Carnivores can help you and are a great support community.

Soft white wheat is more fluffy, but even hard red and hard white wheat isn’t anything at all like the so-called “whole grain” bread you can buy in the stores! It’s completely different!

The only times I felt in control of my mental health were times I actively cut out added sugar and focused on eating whole, homemade foods. Once I start eating sugar, I find the cravings are intense, my mood changes, and I start sleeping poorly and feeling depressed - all triggering a desire for more sugar for that "uplifting" effect. It's wild. And the amount of sugar in our food supply is absurd.

I really appreciate you listing the things we can eat, n eat once in awhile. I’m new to all this so that information is exactly what I need! One thing I know will be impossible-artificial sweeteners. I only use stevia w/my coffee. There’s erythritol in my energy drink too. Oh, n my caffeine free Diet Coke w/lemon wedge every night. I don’t drink alcohol so this is my vice. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Right up there with the very poor practice of all that sugar in school lunches, is the high-sugar, low quality SAD diet everywhere in the M D Anderson Cancer Clinc. Pathetic. We should speak up about this. I pledge here & now to contact M D Anderson today about that cafeteria.

I'm an MD Anderson cancer patient and I agree wholeheartedly about the crap they sell in the cafeterias. I always go across the walkway to the restaurant on the second floor. They always have a protein I can eat. Good luck and I wish you lots of healing.

I rarely eat sugar except in Auguson Farms creamy wheat cereal in winter and I don`t put much in it. I sometimes eat oatmeal that I get in a food pantry bag and add whole milk/butter powder. I`m poor so I mostly eat lightly smoked sardines in olive oil or mustard (I buy at least two 18 pack cases a month), tuna, crackers, nuts, peanut butter and whatever I can grow (I have a vegetable garden 365 days a year and three types of 15 young fruit trees, blackberries, strawberries, ground cherries etc), but sometimes I eat carbs and feel better when I`m very hungry. I make biscuits and don`t buy bread and only eat lard or olive oil. No soda. I use organic raw sugar or blackstrap molasses.

Mark, I really appreciate you, I've been a follower of your channel for a long time and I've learned a lot from you. But, I must say that "listen to your body" is a very bad advice. I'm hooked on sugar like a mad person, I'd eat a kilo of nutella a day and then cake and then a whole pineapple and repeat. I feel these cravings in my whole body and I'm loving the high. Right now I should listen to the voice of reason instead of my body. My body is fooling me, i don't feel bad side effects from the amount of sugar that I'm eating, i only feel that I want more of it. I'm not even fat, my BMI is normal, probably because I exercise a lot. But metabolically, I'm very sure I'm unhealthy. So, people, you better listen to Mark's podcast and double check with your body ❤😂😉

But a sweet taste triggers dopamine. Similar risk of overeating. You have to wean yourself off the taste of sweetness by including more bitter foods in your diet. Your taste buds will renew in a few weeks and sweet food will seem overpoweringly sweet. Edit. A sweet taste also spikes insulin

Yes for sure I agree with the sweet taste and I am finding gradually I use less and crave less but just saying what works for me , bad eating habits is the hardest to reset especially sugar addiction or high carb eating for years , for me I am ok with stevia only use tiny amounts as ten times sweeter , some people can go cold Turkey and some take years to transition off processed foods and sugar if your are a stressed or unhappy person it can make it harder to wean off , so a healthier sweet taste like stevia would be at least a starting point .

@@qhride1 Yes, I use stevia and ethrytol in small amounts too. A lot of people use them to make regular sweetness desserts. I make sugar -free mug cakes and mash them up with a sprinkling of stevia. Those are on my good days when the requirement for sweetness is very low.. Unfortunately, I had some 'low sugar and high fibre' shop biscuits today. I thought I would only have a few after my meal but it was a bit more than that! Still addictive. Blood sugar is raging.

@judyjohnson9610 Ай бұрын

All you need to do is a little research. Make it like 'the effect of adding protein to carbs on Glycemic Index" Don't let people tell you that bread acts the same as sugar. Generally, you will eat bread in combination with other foods. When they measure for the effect of various carbs on blood sugar, they give the carb by itself, not as part of a whole meal. So it's really a little misleading. Even protein will raise your blood sugar. I won't advise you as to the amount of carbs you should eat, but by experience, I find that my energy levels have much improved since I cut down to about 150 g in a day. No good news on the scale yet LOL
